Goal, Glory, Confession, Griffiths, “in a nutshell” – “I let myself down, my club down. I let everybody down”

The flawed part's ok, McG. Some of our greatest players had a few loose screws. I don't care what physical shape a player is in. Finely tuned athletes pick up a constant string of niggling injuries and spend too much time worrying about their 6-pack than they do their first-touch.

As long as the lad's performing on the park, then I could care less about what he does off it.

All being well with Griff, I'd start him and Rogic against the huns. We'll done to Klimala for getting up and putting the ball in the net, if that was Morelos he'd have broken the world record for rolling 100 times and then telling ref legs broke.

..........................

I don’t see Griff lasting 90 mins yet.....and for that reason alone I can’t see him starting.....but I can see him making an impact.....as can Paddy.....I actually think Paddy may start.....as I believe Lenny will have a deep and meaningful with Eddy prior to naming the team.....and if he’s not convinced Eddy is in the zone he’ll start Paddy.....I say this with the codicil that Ajeti won’t be deemed fit enough to play the 90...
 
Griff is a throwback to the days when players were smokers , drinkers etc... and still did the business on the park .
You don't have to be an Olympic athlete or a rocket scientist to be a great footballer but you do need your brains in your feet !

If Ajeti is fit then I'd start him up front with Eddy as he is good at poking the ball in the net in tight games. Then seeing as fitness is an issue for these bhoys at half time I'd swap him for Griff to run riot as the game opens up. Then with 20-25 minutes remaining swap out Eddy for Klimala so the 2 of then are terrorising that tiring sevco defence.

So we'll never go with the 4 strikers

An excellent return from a gifted striker. Let's hope this is the last time he drops a bollock and realises that he needs to make the most of his talent. I'm delighted too that it looks like we have 4 excellent strikers, so that when someone's form dips that we have others ready to step in and take us on to glory. I hope too that to have the best impact for most games we really do need to play 2 up front with our excellent supporting case of talented attack minded midfielders. This playing 1 upfront with another midfielder sat alongside or behind them is not really working for us.

Hail hail Leigh Griffiths.

I cannot remember having so many top strikers at the same time, perhaps sutton, Larsson and hartson is the last time we had such an abundance of quality strikers. Klimala should be signed to a long term contract with a huge buy out clause right away same for ajetti. The fact that those 2 and eddy are so young speaks volumes for the scouts who brought them in . Why we started with 1 striker is beyond my comprehension, yes st johnstone have troubled us many times with their bus parked and hitting on the counter, something that the rangers have faced once with livi. We are devastating with 2 strikers and we have to play 2 regardless of whether its milan , the rangers or st johnstone

There’s certainly a case for what you’re suggesting 👍

Agree if he does his talking on the park that's fine by me, he's no use sitting in the stands

Klimala was signed on a four and a half year contract so we already have him in the bag for the long-term. I doubt if PL will renegotiate both their contract just yet due to the current uncertain economic climate. I'm all for 2 strikers in games, but kelly has already persuaded me to start with all 4! I guess we still have Jack Aitchison to come on as sub to bolster our attack if we really want to go gung-ho...

He always poses a goal threat too, Kelly. Something that N'Tcham has been lacking in lately.

I still think there's an absolute star waiting to burst out of Olly, but there's been more mediocre days than great days recently. He had a great opportunity to pull all the strings yesterday, but decided that it would be better to play sideyways and backertys. Big Tam only knows how to play forward thinking. Knowing his luck, he'll get some freak injury playing tiddlywinks during the international break.

Unfortunately it appears Jack has gone to Barnsley. :(
